denly round a curve and bear down
upon him while he was walking upon
the track where the bluff arose per-
pendicular on one side and the river
ran on the other He took to the water;
but, like the man who is born to be

dead from exhaustion. Cook went and
got his child, a bright little girl about
Ave years old, who was staying with a
woman near 0sterdock, and took her to
her grandmother, Mrs. pegg, in Bell

treatment Cooks last wife, mother of
theiittle girl and daughter of Mrs. Pegg,

IDAHO.

Nevada wants Idaho and most Of
Idaho wants to come to Nevadn.
While the necessary forms OF legisla-
ton have not yet been even begun the
annexation of southern Idaho may be
regarded rs certain. and the citizens of
that portion of the territory will be
citizens Of a sovereign State. one Of the
largest In the Union and containing
the greatest mineral wealth of any.
Nevada will have her population in
creased by many thousands, the bur-
den Of State government will be
lighter on the individual tax payers,
and everybody will be benefited. To
the censcless and intelligent energy OF
VIM. NJ. Stewart is due the credit.
His zeal for the welfare Of his State,
made. possible the realization OF the
scheme, and his untirng work com
pleted the necessary details. Mindful
Of the merest trifIe, he has left nothing
TO the sccidents Of the future, but has
prepared everything for an almos, i'm.
mediate accomplishment Of the under.
taking. Ia It strange that such rs he
should be the choice of tho people for
United States Senators Is it strange
that they prefer an able man who points
TO what he has done. and is doing as ev-
idence Of what be will dor The people
OF Nevada want man who tries and
succeeds not one who tries, fails and
cries In the acquisition of Idaho,
Nevada will receive territory larger
than some of the Eastern States with
almost unlimited possibilities as to de-
velopment. But one man is thoroughly
prepared 10 push the matter to sue
cessful conclusion, he Is however not
only prepared but earnest In the cause
and the annexation will in itself be
record of efficiency. The Idaho an
nexat,on Is alone sufficient 10 indicate
Mr.. stewart as the proper choice OF
the Legislature. No claims are urged
against him except those OF angry
